A multi-storied building owned by a retail outlet selling photo frames went up in flames near Sri Govindaraja Swamy temple here on June 16 (Friday).
The structure is a narrow vertical building abutting the intersection of two crammed lanes, viz., Govindaraja Car Street and Govindaraja North Mada Street, located a few metres away from the Tirupati railway station in the old city area.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported in the mishap as the staff and customers evacuated the building as soon as the fire broke out. The building serves as an assembling unit-cum-sales outlet of photo frames
